Where books are
already wanted.
Rather than guessing which prisons want donations, we're beginning with publicly posted requests and experienced book-to-prison programs. Find a promising route, then verify that the particular book and supplier are acceptable.
The published paperback is available on Amazon ↗. Book availability does not turn any public request below into an approved Amazon shipment destination.
Start where there's already interest.
Curated starting points from Books Behind Bars at WriteAPrisoner.com. The source directory may contain older listings or changed requirements; always read the linked original.

Some groups serve individual readers, not libraries. Each has its own selection and donation policies. Contacting a group is not an accepted partnership or fulfillment agreement.

How a genuine sponsorship would work
1. A suitable program confirms the book and volume. 2. The supplier and address are checked. 3. A sponsor completes a real order through an approved channel. 4. Only documented dispatch and receipt contribute to the impact board.
A book published on Amazon is not automatically permitted by every prison. We will not treat a donor request as a purchase.
